CALCULATE SOLAR REQUIREMENTS
1.
Estimate the gate traffic measured in open/close cycles per TABLE 22-1.
2. Estimate the amount of sunlight
available per the Solar Map (right).
3. Use the solar wattage calculator
found on the HySecurity website
at
https://www.hysecurity.com/
operators-accessories/solar/
to determine battery and solar
panel size needed to serve the
installation in question.
NOTES:
•
TABLE 22-1 should be used as only a guide. Alternative gate operator configurations may reduce
or increase the daily power usage.
• For dual gate operators, double the amount of required solar wattage.
• If a standard electrical outlet is not available for trickle charging, a licensed electrician will be
required for proper electrical hookup.
